<\/p>\nSCOTTSDALE, Ariz. \u2014 Catcher Tyler Stephenson argued his salary arbitration case against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday and left-hander Reid Detmers had his hearing with the Los Angeles Angels.<\/p>\n
Stephenson asked for $6.8 million while the Reds argued for $6.55 million in a hearing before Josh Gordon, Allen Ponak and Chris Cameron.<\/p>\n
Detmers argued for $2,925,000 and the Angels for $2,625,000 in a hearing before Robert Herman, Samantha Tower and Scott Buchheit.<\/p>\n
Decisions are expected Tuesday. Players lead 5-1 in cases thus far and up to seven more decisions are possible.<\/p>\n
Stephenson hit .239 with 13 homers and 50 RBIs in 88 games last year, sidelined from mid-March until May 2 by a strained left oblique and between Aug. 15 and Sept. 5 by a broken left thumb sustained while catching a pitch from Hunter Greene during a game against Milwaukee. <\/p>\n
He earned $4,925,000 last year.<\/p>\n
Stephenson turns 30 in August and can become a free agent after this year’s World Series. He has a .261 average with 63 homers and 258 RBIs in six major league seasons, all with the Reds. <\/p>\n
